It was a busy night and the staff worked hard and moved quickly ensuring everyone was taken care of, waters refilled, checked on to make sure everything was great. 10/10 would recommend!!”

We had a burger, quesadilla & Nashville chicken stripes. My burger had a gf bun & was delicious, husb & daughter loved the stripes & quesadilla. Restaurant had a nice, chill atmosphere, everyone enjoying drinks & food. We will be back when out in the area.”

“It's a Friday night and we're meeting up with some friends! One of them suggested Marker 37 for a variety of reasons and today, we're going to find out why! Here's how things went for me during my visit. Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right on the Connecticut River in Chester, CT connected to its own marina is this gem. Reservations are recommended especially in the summertime since THIS is the place where you wanna be. We were here in early April so things hadn't quite picked up, but at least the snow was gone and we didn't need to wear super heavy coats. The parking lot is massive so if it's busy you'll be walking for a minute before you get to the door. But once inside it's pretty modern, chill and relaxed. The decor isn't over-the-top. Everything is straight-edged and just... almost minimalistic. However, we sat in the patio area that was certainly heated so we could see the view of the water while the sun set. It was a wide-open setting and I'm very glad the restaurant didn't smash too many tables and chairs in there. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but I don't remember having any issues throughout dinner. It was fairly slow so I didn't expect any hold-ups. Food/Drinks: I started off with an old-fashioned which was fine. Nothing crazy. Next up was a New England clam chowder which is perfectly seasoned and flavorful. Textures were good and so were the seasonings. Spot-on. For dinner I went with their Prime Rib! It came out perfectly medium-rare with a side of fingerling potatoes, grilled squash, au jus and horseradish sauce. It was good. Just... kinda not exciting. :-/ Maybe I should've gone the seafood route since we were on the water. But no matter. Value: Not too crazy here. It's a nice restaurant, but prices aren't out of control. You can totally come here to chill, have a drink and an app or a full-on family dinner and not be upset at the final bill. In conclusion I liked it here, just not enough to want to drive all the way out here again. Would I come back? Sure, if I were invited by friends and stuff, but I highly encourage you reading this to pay this place a visit and enjoy the views! Thank you for reading.”

“Hi everyone! 🍕 I recently had a delightful experience at a local brick oven pizza place named PRIVATEERS and just had to share it with you all! The chicken capris is absolutely delicious, and the staff there, especially our server, was incredibly kind and welcoming. It’s wonderful to support our local businesses, and this place truly deserves a shoutout for their amazing food and service. Highly recommend giving them a try if you haven’t yet! 🌟”

“Absolutely outstanding! 5 star experience from start to finish! Our hostess was a gem! Very kind..Our server Peter was a professional.. made some wonderful suggestions on wine and appetizers! And one of the most important parts was the food! It’s a must try! Memories were made! Can’t wait to go back and enjoy a beautiful experience if they’ve gave 10 stars the Essex would get an 11 cheers”

“Such great service but even more so, the chefs are incredible with their creativity and delivery of unique and delicious food. Liv's is an oasis away from home....they do so much to make dinner special every time. Thank you all.”

“Great food. We were 4 and ordered: Penne ala Vodka GREAT Carbonara GREAT Special Burger GREAT Meat Lovers Pizza PERFECT CRUST”

“Shayna B’s is the best place for comfort, variety, deliciousness, and total love! I wish I lived closer and could be here all the time-everything on the menu is incredible, and the extensive bakery case leaves nothing to be desired- it’s all there and more!”

“This place is great. My Wife & I live in the area and we order or dine in here at least once a week. The people are friendly and the sushi is always fresh. Additionally, their lunch and dinner boxes are always high quality with good portions. Compared to other Japanese Restaurants in the area, Sushi Man is price competitive. They’re a really nice addition to the South Fire / Xavier area of Middletown; I’d love to see them succeed long term!”

“Debs was on my list of places to try for a bit! A new favorite spot. My boyfriend and I enjoyed corn chowder, hash, special blueberry pie stuffed French toast, and a special queso Philly cheesesteak “mess” which was like an omelet with all the Philly ingredients plus jalapeños. Deb joked and said I’d need a nap after the meal. Everything was SO GOOD!!! And I do enjoy a nap. Big fan. So many more things I can’t wait to try!”

“I’ve always had a great experience at Himalaya Cafe. You can tell that all the staff takes a lot of pride in their craft. The food is by far the best around and is reasonably priced. The ambiance is clean, warm and relaxing and the service is always very friendly. One of my favorite restaurants around!”

“I have hosted several business events for my company and the Madison Beach Hotel always not only meets our expectations but exceeds them. I especially would like to call out Donna and Lisa. They are stellar!!!!”

“Came here for the first time today. I've been wanting to try for awhile. Amazing place. Love the menu! So many different things to choose from. Tons of veggie options. I had a veggie melt with broccoli, eggplant, onions, sundried tomatoes and cheese. It was amazing! If you haven't been, great eats for breakfast and lunch!”

“Best penne alla vodka I’ve ever had. Gluten free option too! Great service as well. ❤️”
